Living Her Dream

An all-American girl from a small southern mill town, Captain Kimberly Hampton was living her dream. As a Captain in the 82nd Airborne Division, she was determined, ambitious and highly respected by her family, friends, and peers.

“If there is anything I can say to ease your mind…if anything ever happens to me, you can be certain that I am doing the things I love. I’m living my dreams for sure…”
